Port of Seattle Provides Rent Relief to Maritime, Landside Tenants
Building on recent tenant relief at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the Port of Seattle will provide rent relief for qualifying business tenants and customers throughout its maritime and landside properties, which include office, retail, and restaurants, along with recreational and commercial moorage. The relief comes in the way of deferring rent for businesses for the months of April through July, and deferring moorage fees for live-aboard and other moorage customers for the months of April through June.
Port of Seattle’s Steve Metruck says, “We are taking relief actions port-wide starting this month, including foregoing evictions, to aid our tenants in weathering this unprecedented crisis.”
The relief provisions will apply to tenants who have been impacted by COVID-19 and the resulting economic crisis. The deferrals are intended to maximize the ability of the Port’s commercial tenants to continue operations, retain employees and provide revenue to the Port as the economy recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
